The Farm Bill is so much more than simply welfare for corporate farmers. It funds USDA inspections of meat and vegetables creating a safer food supply, it contains provisions that allow farmers to access needed capital from banks, it helps farmers access new markets and advances economic opportunities in rural communities, it enables new farmers just starting out and encourages entrepreneurship contributing to job growth. Without a Farm Bill, we miss out on the opportunity to promote sustainable farming practices and organic foods or the ability to expand local food markets. The right-wing obstructionists including “These screwballs we've got in office now, elected the last two times…” can help by eliminating outdated corporate welfare and passing the Farm Bill. Their job is to do what’s best for our Nation, not succumb to the doctrine of uncompromising egocentric extremists.
